CALF operates and manages the 133 acre historic Lowell Ranch, south of Castle Rock on the 1-25 East Frontage Road. CALF connects all people to agricultural through authentic educational programs, facilities for 4-H/FFA projects, guided tours, ranch livestock, and leadership opportunities.

CALF’s new Geothermal Greenhouse and 7 garden areas support and grow for the ‘Give, Grow, Give’ community project donating 1000’s of pounds of food to people in need each year. We couldn’t do it all without our wonderful volunteers!

Club members purchase and plant the planter boxes in front of the Douglas/Elbert County Task Force Thrift Store. The cheery flowers greet volunteers and shoppers when they enter the store..

The Castle Rock Community Garden at Glovers Park is a community-based and community-run garden area where Castle Rock residents can garden in raised beds during the summer months.

In the spring of 2022 Douglas County Garden Club volunteered to plant and maintain an area that borders the sidewalk in front of the community garden area. Working the soil and planting the flowers has been a rewarding project for garden club members, but we also enjoyed interacting with community that walk by our flower bed. Stop by the gardens to enjoy the beauty of this lovely community garden.
